Apex gone downhill

There are other games that do not completely eliminate the issue of cheaters, but have it much better under control, such as Respawn's approach in Apex Legends. In other games, hackers can manipulate algorithms to disrupt matches, causing delays in gameplay. It's disheartening to see cheaters participating in Apex Legends' competitive matches, and there are numerous videos online documenting these incidents. This is an incredibly embarrassing situation for Respawn. However, it raises questions when I play a trio match and find the champion squad comprised of predator-ranked players, while I myself only have a KD (Kill/Death ratio) of 1, which unfortunately happens frequently. I have never been anywhere near as skilled as the justification for encountering master-ranked players in nearly every match suggests.

Prior to this season, which is already out of the question, I had never achieved a higher rank than Diamond 3. Yet, I find myself being obliterated by players with flawless aimbot capabilities. I witness it happening and shortly after, I am also taken down by another player using an aimbot. It has been a long time since I experienced such occurrences live in Apex Legends, but unfortunately, it seems to be on the rise again. This begs the question: Where is the promised upgrade for the anti-cheat system?
